I've been listening to Vampire Weekend all week and I absolutely love them. Their self-titled is my favorite, followed by Contra and then Modern Vampires of the City. Can anyone recommend similar bands or bands that I might enjoy? Their music is just so fun.

Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints by Paul Simon would both probably fall into this category, to the extent that all I remember about Vampire Weekend's first album is that everybody was comparing them to this. If you haven't listened to either album, I'd think that's a great starting point. e: The guy above me recommended The Talking Heads, but David Byrne also put out an album of Latin-inspired music (Rei Momo) that might be up your alley as well. Declan MacManus posted:For once someone other than regulargonzalez is going to recommend Sleater-Kinney! I'd also recommend Big Eyes, Titus Andronicus, Built to Spill, and Dinosaur Jr. With these recommendations, I'd tack on The Replacements and The Gaslight Anthem. e2: If you look them up on Spotify, they both do some slower songs as well. I'm not sure why Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts is the top song for Gaslight, but the second and third songs ("45" and "The '59 Sound") should be the closest thing to what you're probably looking for.

Last year I picked up on a viking rock band from the Faroe Islands called TÝR and have been in love ever since. They're a no nonsense heavy rock group that after their first two albums I think came into their own. They have some slower songs mixed in with their regular repertoire and it come together for an awesome listen. Some of their songs in are in their native Danish but most are English. I'll link the lyric translations too. Here's the songs I recommend, starting from their third album. Eric the Red: 'Regin Smidur' (Regin Blacksmith)|Lyrics Eric the Red: 'Ólavur Riddararós' (Olaf Knightrose)|Lyrics Eric the Red: Rainbow Warrior Eric the Red: 'Ramund hin Unge' (The Young Raymond)|Lyrics Ragnarok: The Hammer of Thor Ragnarok: Ragnarok|Lyrics Land: 'Sinklars Vísa' (The Ballad of Sinclair)|Lyrics By The Light of the Northern Star: Turið Torkilsdóttir|Lyrics By The Light of the Northern Star: By The Light of the Northern Star The Lay of Thrym: Evening Star The Lay of Thrym: 'Konning Hans' (King Hans)|Lyrics Valkyrja: Blood of Heroes Valkyrja: Into the Sky Valkyrja: Valkyrja (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I've been trying to find good music to listen to while I'm working. I'm trying to find poo poo along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENISCG2a15g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7Q0brvCJ4Y but I'm not looking for techno or dance music or poo poo like that, I just want monotonous music to put on that's just engaging enough to keep my mind occupied but not distracting. Long tracks or instrumentals is a plus and I've tried pure noise type stuff but it's not what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me in a good direction?

a few pages back someone was asking about songs with narration/spoken word and mentioned GYBE. i was watching live streams of the Kiev riots and listening to GYBE last night and, aside from it being eerily appropriate, i am across this, which i thought might scratch that poster's itch.

I posted this in the ambient thread but I'll put it here too since I imagine this would get more traffic and also maybe even different suggestions I would still enjoy: I really like Gas a lot. I have the 2008 Kompakt box set Voigt put out of the four albums, slightly remastered and edited. All of it -- and especially Pop, which I heard first in its standalone Mille Plateaux CD release before knowing anything else about Gas -- is ever so slightly unnerving! I can't get enough looped ambient drones, and how lo-fi it sounds at the same time. It's interesting too how, unlike say Eno's Ambient series of albums or albums by Carbon Based Lifeforms, Gas's music doesn't ever eventually build up and resolve. It just sort of... moves on and completes without much expectation. I actually find it interesting to actively listen to as well as to get lost within (and fall asleep to, as creepy as it is to wake up to it as well). Basically, I'm wondering what else I should check out considering how much I like Gas. Thanks, ambient friends!

By the looks of the soundcloud page, classitronic is the accepted name for this genre (I was searching with the wrong portmanteau No problem. My grandpa was way into this stuff (he smoked a lot of pot) so he had a copy of Metamorphoses along with Zappa's Jazz From Hell and a ton of Wendy Carlos. I actually didn't know what to call it until I started looking it up.

I'm looking for a really good prog album. I love Jethro Tull's Aqualung through Heavy Horses albums, so bands with a similar style would be appreciated. Pandora always gives me Led Zeppelin and The Who as similar artists for some reason.

Hey, so now that Turntable.fm has shut down, does anybody know of any other social music sites where you can listen to music with other people? Admittedly, I was one of the many users that stopped using it, which caused it to shut down in the first place. But I was in the mood to let some other people DJ my music tonight and was sad to find out it had shut down. Anything similar out there?

I'm looking for death metal bands similar to Vital Remains. Specifically I like their long songs with a combination of traditional death riffs with really dramatic/sinister, ostentatiously melodic repeated figures, like Icons of Evil. I like their vocals. Also, on the off chance anyone who likes brutal death metal is passing by, I'd be really interested in hearing some slamming guttural poo poo with occasional use of those sorts of melodic patterns.

I was listening to I'm Not Leaving by the Crystal Method today, its a great song but what really caught me was the guitar part that starts at about 16 seconds til 50 seconds ish, played by (I think) Joe Messina of the Funk Brothers. I absolutely love the tone and could listen to it all day, but I don't really know what it is, what genre, or who plays that sort of guitar style, so I can't find any more. If anyone can offer up suggestions of songs that have that similar guitar tone/reverb (with lyrics or without, I don't care) I'd be eternally grateful.

The classical show on the radio played a set of Icelandic/Scandinavian classical/baroque music the other week. There were many composers whose names I missed due to static, but the music was very cool. It started out with this sort of droning cello/violin pieces, where the strings would weave in and out of sync with each other and sometimes creak and scratch in mild dissonance and odd harmony. The rest was sort of medieval sounding, with lutes and stuff and wouldn't have sounded too out of place during a feast scene in Game of Thrones or similar. All instrumental, as far as I can remember. Any pointers on some composers, etc would be appreciated. doug fuckey fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Mar 4, 2014 |

Well, you haven't given us much to go on; but I'll take a stab at it. I recommend Claude Debussey's La Mer. That's my favorite piece of his and I quite enjoy listening to it from time to time.

I know fuckall about classical music to be honest, but there's Edvard Grieg (Norway) and Jean Sibelius (Finland, which is not really part of Scandinavia, though). No idea if either of them have composed anything like you described, but uh, it's a start I guess? V  V

I've never been much into electronic music, but I've realized that I actually like a lot of the elements of dubstep and its subgenres, although I don't really know much about the genre. What I particularly enjoy is the use of abrasive, glitchy sounds, that triplet thing they do all the time, the wubby bass, and the fact that it can sound pretty dark and evil at times. I'd appreciate if someone could recommend me some ugly, dark dubstep (or you know, deathstep or darkstep or whatever). I would really prefer recommendations that don't have vocals or vocal samples, or at least as few as possible.

You might want to look into trap music if you're really into the triplet "stuttering" thing that I think you're describing. As far as dubstep itself goes, I'm not a huge fan but I know that UKF's dubstep page is pretty popular and has a ton of stuff to get into

I'm looking for something that blends trip-hop with shoegaze. Not just one with elements of the other, I'm talking as close to 50/50 as it can get. Post-rock elements are also welcome in the mix.
